president obama recently used the phrase that we are at war with terrorists. but unfortunately, his rhetoric does not match the action of his administration. the obama administration appears to have a blind spot when it comes to the war on terrorism, and because of that blindness, this administration cannot see a foreign terrorist even when he stands right in front of them, fresh from an attempt to blow a plane out of the sky on christmasÑi day. there is no other way to explain the irresponsible and dangerous decision on the interrogation. there's no other way to explain the inconceivable treatment of him as if he were a common criminal.
